Pros

- Company shifted from in Office to WFH with little to no issue and has continued to be responsible regarding Office re-openings - Many of the teams at Malwarebytes have some amazing people on them and running them, if you are lucky and end up in one of these teams you will have a great time - In the last couple quarters there have been major products improvements and that has made the future of the company seem much brighter - Malwarebytes has a great reputation in the IT world and it is definitely earned

Cons

- Executive leadership has failed to provide a unified vision of what the company is doing in the short and long term - Product and Engineering have had lots of turn-over in the last few years - Products have stagnated for long periods of time and fail in many ways to be competitive in the security market - Success in 3rd party testing has been difficult making it harder for Malwarebytes products to compete - Communication and collaboration between teams is often difficult, resulting in stakeholders being ignored

Pros

Very supportive managers and a fun, highly collaborative team. The department fosters an environment where ideas are openly shared and opportunities for improvement are discussed constructively without toxicity. Truly the best company I’ve worked for so far.

Cons

The interview process was somewhat lengthy, and salary discussions were not entirely consistent.

Pros

It was okay before the favoritism and gender pay gaps

Cons

There is a lot of favoritism. When I found out I was making far less than a male coworker in the same role with less years of experience, they did nothing to rectify the situation. Also, the CEO is far too involved in Product and dictates rather than collaborates
